Hello everyone, I'm Alaska with glasses and a microphone.
Recently, a documentary with a score of 9.7 is on the air, it is called "The Last Dance".
As you can guess from the cover of this documentary, its protagonist is one of the most legendary teams in NBA history: the Chicago Bulls.
It records the most brilliant generation of the Bulls.
Michael Jordan, Pippen, Rodman.
Each name represents the youth of a generation.
Especially the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan.
Even someone like me who doesn't watch the NBA very much and doesn't play basketball a lot knows his name.
Like Pele in football and Muhammad Ali, he is an absolute spokesperson for basketball.
Jordan's nickname, "Flying Man".
His jumping ability is amazing, and dunking is a snap.
He has a gritty character, a tenacity to not admit defeat, a constant focus on the game, and the cohesion to lead the team to victory.
His time on the basketball court has influenced countless basketball teenagers.
But Jordan wasn't born strong either.
For a period of time when he was a child, he had been living in the shadow of his own brother.
Older brother Larry Jordan worked hard at everything, and would play basketball in the future. The halo on his body once completely covered his younger brother.
This aroused Jordan's competitive spirit, and he had been competing with his brother in the early days of basketball.
He kept looking for his brother to "fight the bull" and was defeated by him again and again.
In order to beat his brother, Jordan practiced day and night. When he was a child, his partner was walking around the block. When he went out in the morning, Jordan was playing.
When he came back that night, Jordan was still playing there.
It was the days of fighting with his brother that shaped Jordan's tenacity and unwillingness to lose.
Everyone around you knows that if you want to motivate Jordan, you only need to say one sentence:
I don't think you can.
This sentence is like a perpetual motion machine, which can give Jordan unlimited energy.
As an athlete, Jordan was always the one who wanted to win.
Many people like Jordan, it is he who has the dedication to winning.
This dedication has allowed him to lead the team to six NBA championships.
Let him win the "Most Valuable Player" title fourteen times.
He won the regular-season scoring title ten times and set a career record in points per game.
To say he is the god of basketball is not an exaggeration.
In the Bulls, Jordan's best partner is Pippen.
There's a saying: If Jordan is Batman, then Pippen is Robin.
Pippen was Jordan's best backing when it came time to attack, dunk, and score.
Pippen's childhood was more tragic than Jordan's. There were 12 children in his family, and one of his older brothers had an accidental stroke.
A few years later, Pippen's father also suffered a stroke. The family is in economic crisis.
Pippen studied in general and did not receive any scholarships in college. He worked part-time by cleaning basketball courts.
In the future, he signed with the Bulls, and signed a long-term contract because he wanted to support a large family, and his salary and ability were inverted.
But after getting through those tough years, Pippen stepped back from his upside-down fate.
In terms of overall strength, Pippen is a very thoughtful player who redefines what a small forward is.
He was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team 17 times, and his stop on the court was impregnable.
Even former US President Bill Clinton is his fan.
In addition to Jordan and Pippen, the Bulls triangle has one of the most unstable bad boys - Rodman.
Why is he called a bad boy? You can see by looking at his appearance:
Rodman loves freedom by nature. He doesn't like restraint. He doesn't like training. When there is no competition, he likes to go clubbing and have fun.
It also has something to do with his childhood.
His father ran away when he was 3 years old, and then found 4 women and gave birth to 27 children for him...
The mother took Rodman to live in the dirtiest neighborhood, working four jobs to support the family.
As an adult, Rodman took his revenge on the world with his bohemian shell and quick time.
Off the court, Rodman has always been on the cusp of public opinion.
He is in love with Madonna, the eldest sister of the American music scene.
He turned into a wrestler and stood in the ring.
Even the retirement ceremony, he chose to go to a strip club.
Not to mention that he also visited North Korea four times.
Rodman on the court also has a wild style of play.
Crazy stealing rebounds is his super nirvana.
From 1991 to 1998, he has been sitting on the throne of the NBA rebounding king.
If Jordan is the Bulls killer, Pippen is the Bulls backing, Rodman is the Jagged Chariot.
Many people follow "The Last Dancer" and score high, just to relive Jordan and this invincible Bulls dynasty.
They're all looking back at a basketball era.
In that era, Jordan and the Bulls were the brightest stars.
Under their illumination, watching the NBA and playing basketball were the daily routines of countless young people at that time.
At that time, there was also an animation "Slam Dunk", which also became popular all over the country.
The ruffian but pure cherry tree flower road, the cool Rukawa maple;
The handsome Akira Xiandao, the mighty Akagi, the lovely Haruko...
"Slam Dunk" popularizes the charm of basketball in a more popular way.
Because of the hit of "Slam Dunk", no matter the hot summer or the cold winter, there are middle two teenagers holding basketballs and fantasizing that they are possessed by anime characters.
They shot again and again and again and again, but never got tired of it.
At that time, I also held a basketball to play biu for a while, the breeze was blowing, and the court was full of hormones.
Many people who have experienced that era still use screenshots of "Slam Dunk" as their avatars to commemorate their sweaty youth.
And take this to remind yourself not to give up the love you once had easily.
"Coach Anxi, I really want to play basketball" was "Chasing Dreams" in that era.
Some time ago, Kobe passed away, and many people are lamenting the end of an era.
In fact, the era of basketball fanaticism has long since ended.
Today's NBA, there are many stars, but the superstar has not appeared for a long time.
The popular anime related to basketball in recent years, I can only remember "Kuroko's Basketball" a few years ago.
It is worth mentioning that, compared with "Slam Dunk" with a hard bridge and a hard horse, "Kuroko's Basketball" has a whole bunch of superpower duels.
The surreal "Kuroko's Basketball" also proves that the era of realism and the pursuit of the true charm of basketball is over.
I still remember at the end of the cartoon of "Slam Dunk", the Xiangbei High School basketball team as the protagonist did not win.
Basketball, sometimes a regrettable sport.
In a real game, there is no such thing as "Ow Ow" screaming and then madly counterattacking, there is, just the game itself.
And only these failures make basketball players focus more on catching, grabbing, dribbling, and shooting.
Life, too.
Finally, I would like to share with you a passage from Jordan, which appeared in his ad for Nike:
"Throughout my career, I've missed more than 9,000 shots, lost more than 300 games, and betrayed the trust of coaches and teammates 26 times on the final shot.
——However, I can accept failure and never give up, which is the reason for my success. "
Share with everyone.
Bye bye.
